Thank you @karenmckersie I appreciate your kind words. Naima Mora is truly a great role model in this day and age of what I would consider to be "fluff" selfie celebrities who are famous based on their last name instead of any real talent. Yes they know how to brand themselves and make an empire, but I'd be disappointed if my nieces were to look up to some of these celebrities. Naima has skills and passions outside of modeling and is fun loving and extremely easy to talk to. Someone who is comfortable in their skin is extremely important, because the modeling world is not an easy one. You have to have thick skin and keep trying your best while not taking many turned down opportunities personally. I don't think I could do it myself, but it's nice to know there are some beautiful people with great hearts that are giving girls confidence in themselves (guys as well).
Yes indeed you are so right! We need to empower young woman , now more then ever! Thanks for the reply! It was a great post, and im looking forward to more! 😉👍✌
Absolutely! Young men as well, since there is a growing issue of people only seeing fitness models as handsome. This can lead some good looking guys to have body dysmorphia and lead to steroids and spending time hitting the gym growing to unhealthy sizes. When people idolize bodybuilders whether male or female, it tends to lead to some difficult decisions about looks vs health and unfortunately I believe more often than not that people tend to choose short term looks over long term health.
This can be true of women too, but I see it far more often in men.
You are so right! Health and hapiness are the 2 most important things in life includeing family! Unfortunately some people dont realize this untill its too late or their old now and looking back on what they they should have done differently! Thanks for replying back! STEEM ON! 😉
I always try to reply. Especially when people put effort into their comments. The rewards for comments are not what they once were, but comments aren't necessarily about just making money. Comments can bring on collaborations, followers, and even if not rewards in steem dollars, it's worth taking the time to spend a lot of effort commenting.
Some of my comments I'm sure are longer than some posts people make, but when someone writes something interesting I believe they deserve the same thought in the feedback/comment section.
I loved watching that show and seeing how they all mature and grow into the industry. Thanks for sharing your day, @bendjmiller222 - it was really cool to watch.
I wish I could have shared from the perspective of a model. (I'm about as goofy as they come and could probably only do laughing photoshoots. The stare off into the distance cologne type modeling just wouldn't fit my personality). But I appreciated the wisdom they brought to the table as professionals and go getters.
I wanted to ask a bit more about Next Top Model, but I'm sure that she's answered just about everything possible to think of in that regard and we could benefit more from practical advice.
Glad you enjoyed my article. Always enjoy hearing from you and seeing your articles @merej99
